You have to be a special kind of stupid to think that a film critic can't critique a film he saw at a public screening he PAID to attend. If DC didn't want pre-embargo reviews then don't release the fucking movie to the public before press screenings and the embargo lift.
DCU fans have always been toxic.
Ya’ll just ignored it. They harassed critics over Superman last year, even KID CUDI. They spammed monkey gifs/emojis 🐵 even outright calling black people MONKEYS, and ya’ll let it slide…
Jesse Eisenbergs performance is based on the Lex Luthor from the Superman:Birthright comic series.
But for some reason, these 'real' DC fans don't seem to understand this and just ignore it.
Just because it's not a specific version of Lex THEY wanted.
Sometimes, being alone hurts less than being surrounded by people you once called friends, only to realise they never valued your bond the way you did. What hurts most isn't the disagreement, but knowing that people you trusted could turn against you when you weren't around and talk ill about you.
For now I’ll keep my account active, but I won’t be using it until I find my peace of mind again. Right now, I need some distance to heal.
I may lose faith in some people, but I refuse to lose faith in friendship, loyalty, and unity. I’ll never stop believing in genuine bonds just because a few people made me question them. Maybe I’ll walk alone for a while, but I’ll never regret the sincerity I brought to my friendships❤️
Want to Thank you @SnyderQueen_ for always supporting me and caring like a good friend 🙌
OMG #thismovie is better than a #ZackSnyder#movie. Zack Snyder could never make a movie like this movie. Finally #this movie will save us and #DC from ZACK SNYDEEEERRRR!!!!! #NotACult
The fact that that fandom are harassing people over reviews that don’t align with their biases proves how sane they are not.
Very similar to when they attacked Kid Cudi for his review on Superman and he ended up removing it. SMH cultist behavior
DCU fans do not get to complain about Snyder fans being toxic ever again after what happened to Josh Wilding last night.
Josh saw CLAYFACE at an Odeon “Scream Unseen” public screening in the UK. He paid for his ticket. It was not a press screening. He was under no embargo.
Then he gave the movie a 2.5/5, called it “DC’s Morbius moment,” and the James Gunn crowd absolutely lost their shit.
People were trying to get his Warner Bros. press access revoked.
Some were even tagging Disney.
Over a negative review of a $30 million comic book movie.
That is insane.
And the funniest part is that the actual review embargo lifts October 21, but Josh wasn’t bound by it because he saw the movie as a paying customer at a public screening. Other attendees at the same kind of screening have said the same thing: no press invite, no embargo notice.
I don’t even like Rotten Tomatoes critics half the time, and somehow you’ve got me defending one.
That’s how stupid this got.
If Snyder fans had done this to a critic who disliked one of Zack’s movies, the Gunn crowd would spend the next six months using it as proof the fandom is a cult.
But when their side does it?
Tweets get deleted. Nobody apologizes. Everybody moves on.
Nope.
You don’t get to have it both ways.
If you’re willing to mob a critic and try to fuck with his career because he didn’t like CLAYFACE, then maybe stop pretending toxicity is something that only exists on the other side of the DC fandom war.
